Two females who were babysitting two children at an apartment, located at 5757 Wooldridge Road, were tied up by three suspects, and held against their will for a short time.

Neighbors called Corpus Christi Police after the two females escaped out a back window of the apartment and were going door to door asking for help. When Officers arrived they found the 23 year old and 17 year old girls standing outside a neighbor’s apartment. Neither of the females were injured.

The girls told Officers that they were babysitting inside an apartment when the older female answered a knock on the door. The man at the door, asked to speak to a man that lived at the apartment, but he was told that the male was not home at the time and she closed the door.

About ten minutes later the same man returned and knocked at the door again. When the older female opened the door the man grabbed her by the throat and forced his way into the apartment followed by two black males wearing ski mask. All three males pulled out handguns and ordered the females to sit in a back bedroom.  The females then had their wrist tied together by the suspects.

After several minutes of ransacking the apartment, the three males left with property from the home and each of the females cellphones.

The younger female was able to get free of her restraints and fearing that the males were still in the apartment, she was able to get out of a bedroom window and both fled to a neighbor’s apartment.

The suspect, who knocked on the door, was described as a Hispanic male in his late twenties, about 5’9”tall and weighing between 150 and 170 pounds. The other two suspects were both black males, in their late twenties, between 6’0” to 6’2” tall and both weighing between 150 to 180 pounds.  One of the black males was wearing a ski mask with a skull on it.

The two boys, ages 4 and 5, that the females were babysitting, slept through the entire incident and were not injured.

Emergency Medical Dispatch Goes Live

EMD (Emergency Medical Dispatch) is an APCO program that was re-designed specifically for MetroCom and our community.

The program is designed to utilize our EMS resources in an organized and efficient manner and provide pre-arrival instructions to callers. The pre-arrival instructions were provided by our Medial Director, Dr. Roberts and our response plans by the Corpus Christ Fire Department, Chiefs Paige and Flores. We have 4 EMD Instructors on staff and our entire division has been trained. Each dispatcher received more than 40 hours of training and Dr. Roberts had a part in every class.  

This new program has changed how we process Medical emergency calls for service. Dispatchers are trained to ask more questions and give pre-arrival instructions. We want the Community to know though we’re asking several questions, this does not mean units are not on their way. Once we know where and what’s wrong, the call is dispatched to the nearest units. The dispatcher is gathering more information and it’s being transferred to the units so they know how best to respond.  

The pre-arrival instructions range from very basic information such as gathering your medication and sitting down until units arrive to CPR and childbirth delivery. Our dispatchers are reassured with this new program because they know exactly what questions to ask and what instructions will best help the caller. 

“This cooperative effort between the Police and Fire Department will only enhance our capabilities to provide better services to our community” said interim Chief Markle.  

The Police Department has been working on implementing the EMD system for years. Those years of waiting have finally culminated in a truly robust system.
